    I am personally quite fond of soy products.

    MS's remarks remind me of Col. Ripper in Dr. Strangelove.

    Ripper: Mandrake?
    Mandrake: Yes, Jack?
    Ripper: Have you ever seen a Commie drink a glass of water?
    Mandrake: Well, I can't say I have.
    Ripper: Vodka, that's what they drink, isn't it? Never water?
    Mandrake: Well, I-I believe that's what they drink, Jack, yes.
    Ripper: On no account will a Commie ever drink water, and not without good reason.
    Mandrake: Oh, eh, yes. I, uhm, can't quite see what you're getting at, Jack.
    Ripper: Water, that's what I'm getting at, water. Mandrake, water is the source of all life. Seven-tenths of this earth's surface is water. Why, do you realize that seventy percent of you is water?
    Mandrake: Uh, uh, Good Lord!
    Ripper: And as human beings, you and I need fresh, pure water to replenish our precious bodily fluids.
    Mandrake: Yes. (he begins to chuckle nervously)
    Ripper: Are you beginning to understand?
    Mandrake: Yes. (more laughter)
    Ripper: Mandrake. Mandrake, have you never wondered why I drink only distilled water, or rain water, and only pure-grain alcohol?
    Mandrake: Well, it did occur to me, Jack, yes.
    Ripper: Have you ever heard of a thing called fluoridation. Fluoridation of water?
    Mandrake: Uh? Yes, I-I have heard of that, Jack, yes. Yes.
    Ripper: Well, do you know what it is?
    Mandrake: No, no I don't know what it is, no.
    Ripper: Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous Communist plot we have ever had to face?

(TVP has excessive sodium, too, BTW.)

    How about this information for you (that you probably had no inkling of):

    I was a pre-med for 3 years as an undergraduate, graduating with a biology minor. I have worked for about 5 years in biotech (ran the lab at two fuel ethanol plants, both of which ran on food waste, plus other fermentation and food science work at Cargill and General Mills), publishing two relevant papers in technical journals. Then, there are the two biotech patents I have worked on, and my hundreds of pounds of professional papers and books on the subject I acquired to make a start on a professional library.

    Listen, dude, I saw all the stuff you were carrying on your thru-hike spread out in that shelter north of Pearisburg. You can't fool me!

    *** does THAT mean?

    BTW, I probably ate more nutritiously on the Trail than 90% of other thruhikers last year. How many carried dried sushi-grade seaweed and freeze-dried spinach and broccoli, and never cooked ONE Ramen their whole hike?

    No wonder you needed so much toilet paper.

    You eat seaweed and you're concerned about people eating soy products and bitch about the food at Elmers?

    Your posts in this thread are less coherent and non-confluent than usual, even though I know you're just trying to rib MS.

    I was asked what my credentials were to comment upon food science. I gave the courtesy of responding (more politely than the question was asked, I might add).

    Out of curiosity, what have you accomplished in life, outside the Trail?

    OK, so we have MS credentials out of the way. Is there a reference you can point us to on-line to read about this. This is sort of an interesting topic.

    Hopefully something that is peer reviewed. I just did a google and don't trust most of what I read. "Soy Is Making Kids 'Gay'" was one of them.

    My dad actually likes those. Two weeks ago he was reminiscing about powdered eggs, asking if maybe we could bring them on the next hike ...

    I have awful memories of powdered eggs in Boy Scouts.

    MS, still waiting on the cite for the "humans shouldn't eat soy products" notion. Citing your credentials doesn't count.

    In "65" powdered eggs were green...they must have gotten better since then?
